WEEK OF SEP 12 

Market direction prediction (DJIA and NASDAQ):

• Mon 9/12 — Up
• Tue 9/13 — Up
• Wed 9/14 — Down
• Th 9/15 — Down
• Fr 9/16 — Down

Key dates:

• Friday, Sep 16 — Likely a big move in the markets, probably a drop. Increased concerns about oil, gas and/or chemicals (availability of the supplies and problems with transportation by sea or under the sea). Upsetting news about earnings, prices, retail sales, and availability of money (e.g., concerns about bank liquidity, upsets over low earnings, high competition over some financial project, fighting over assets, etc.). Possibly, news about an aggressive financial takeover of some entity (esp. related to healthcare, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, etc.), upsets over financial losses by such an entity, or perhaps even an accidents/fire/attack involving such an institution (e.g., fire at a hospital). These events or concerns will continue into the weekend.
• Sat-Sun, Sep 17-18 — Details may also come out about some conflict or a dispute that weren’t previously known. There may also be increased negotiations  involving international relations, commerce or transportation (e.g., to reach a deal, enter into a legal agreement, change conditions for international travel, etc.). The negotiations may involve a disagreement between a side that sees a larger picture (what’s the higher good) and the side that may focus on the details or be stuck on some small issue. The deal may be reached on Sun when a new consideration about safety/security is brought into the picture.

Noteworthy transits:

• Venus squares Mars (Sep 14-16) — Arguments about the price/value, customers/investors unwilling to pay, upset over price, aggressive initiatives to take something of value by force (e.g., steal, overtake competitors), competitive spirit among financial institutions, fighting over money/profits. 
• Sun squares Neptune retrograde (Sep 16-17) — Concerns about oil, gas, chemicals, deceptions, infectious diseases, poisonings; maritime transportation problems.
• Mercury retrograde opposes Jupiter retrograde (Sep 17-19) — Lots of news about communication and transportation industries. Also, news about important negotiations and deals. However, the deal may or may not be reached as it may be difficult for parties to agree on some ethnical or moral issue. Negotiations may involve international communication and transportation (e.g., legal requirements for selling/transporting goods or people). Negotiations may reach peak tensions around 1pm ET on 9/18 when transiting Moon forms a t-square to Mercury/Jupiter opposition. At that time, the negotiations may break off or a deal is reached after an emotional appeal. On Oct 10-12, Mercury (in direct motion) will once again form an opposition to Jupiter retrograde. Thus, negotiations or a contract from Sep 17-19 may be re-evaluated, revised or finalized in October. Given that the week of Oct 10 has many tense transits occurring at the same time, it is likely that this finalized/updated agreement will result in significant events or will have long-lasting impact.
• Uranus retrograde squares Saturn retrograde (Sep-Nov; peaks around Oct 11) — Global geopolitical tensions, bad for old persons in power, sudden upsets for governmental leaders or leaders of large corporations; increased chance of large quakes, plane crashes and other disasters. Typical disasters under Saturn/Uranus tense aspects manifest as heavy object(s) made of rock/metal/ice/mud falling from a great hight; situations may cause significant damage to structures. Unfavorable for industries involving IT, aerospace, telecoms, power/electric grids, and cryptocurrencies (e.g., reduced value, diminished funding, slow progress, breakdowns, delays, etc.). Charts of Turkey and China/Taiwan receive difficult aspects at this time and may be at higher risk of some disaster (e.g., a significant quake).

WEEK OF SEP 19

Market direction prediction (DJIA and NASDAQ):

• Mon 9/19 — Up
• Tue 9/20 — Down
• Wed 9/21 — Up
• Th 9/22 — Down
• Fr 9/23 — Down

Key dates:

• Thursday-Friday, Sep 22-23 — Expect important news about oil, gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc. Their value may drop. There may also be a period of confusion about the prices of associated products/services and concerns about the costs to transport them. There may be confusion about the prices of associated products/services and concerns about the costs to transport them. The confusion or uncertainty may be due to weather or some decisions being up in the air. This anxiety may result in a large market drop followed by a rally (possibly a drop on Thur-Fr, followed by a reversal to up on Mon).
• Sun, Sep 25 (New Moon) — Focus on new large-scale and/or international initiatives involving partnerships, agreements, collaboration, support, etc. With Aries symbolizing military/aggression and Libra symbolizing diplomacy/balanced judgment, the next 2 weeks may bring increased focus on diplomatic initiatives and collaborative efforts to secure peaceful resolution to any ongoing conflicts. The efforts that begin at the New Moon may culminate in some significant decisions or events around the Full Moon on Oct 9. 

Noteworthy transits:

• Venus trines Uranus retrograde (Sep 18-20) — Positive for IT, aerospace, telecoms, electronics, high tech, power/electric grids, and cryptocurrencies (e.g., earnings go up, projects do well, a product attracts many buyers, etc.). At the same time, costs and prices in the associated industries may go up (e.g., electricity costs or prices of e-vehicles).
• Venus opposes Neptune, while also squaring U.S. Mars and conjuncting U.S. Neptune (Sep 22-24) — Stressful transits indicative of concerns about the value of oil, gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.; a spike in infectious diseases; news about floods, poisonings, oil spills, contamination, and so on; also, of problems involving navy or maritime transportation. 
• Sun, Sep 25 — New Moon in Libra opposes Jupiter in Aries — Focus on new initiatives, projects, and leaders. Projects that are announced or begin at this time may focus on diplomacy, international trade, immigration, and seeking international agreements on some matter. The opposition to Jupiter brings hope about positive resolution, but also an overestimation  and excessive optimism. Initiatives that begin at the New Moon may culminate or escalate around the Full Moon on Oct 9. 
• Mars trines Saturn retrograde (Sep 25-30; peaks 28-29) —
  • (1) Positive for beginning new long-term projects involving military, sports, industrial-scale manufacturing, ambitious/adventurous projects that require careful planning and discipline — with both Mars and Saturn in air signs, we may hear about new multi-year engineering/construction projects that involve building airports, airplane manufacturing contracts, weapons deals (with focus on things that fly, like drones or rockets), building plants to manufacture cars or some high tech or electronic devices, etc. Saturn represents government and large corporations, so any such projects will likely be funded/initiated/implemented by a large established entity. 
  • (2) Mars and Saturn also rule metals and minerals (e.g., iron and steel), so at this time we may hear about initiatives that facilitate acquisition or distribution of related commodities or supplies (e.g., a large steel contract is signed at a good/cheap price). Additionally, Saturn rules mining and coal while Mars rules fire and heat — with the trine facilitating the energy flow between the two, we can expect positive news about coal-mining and/or the use of coal for heating or metal manufacturing (e.g., a large contract for metallurgical coal aka coking coal?). 
  • (3) Mars/Saturn trine in air signs may also bring increased news about strong/damaging winds, storms, and/or increased turbulent activity or accidents involving objects moving through the air at high speeds. Given that Saturn is in ongoing square to Uranus at this time, Mars energy flowing uninterrupted (trine) to Saturn increased a chance of strong earthquakes (Mars power easily flows to Saturn; Uranus square indicates abrupt onset). The disruptive manifestation is the most likely on the afternoon of Sep 28 to morning of Sep 29 ET when Moon conjuncts South Node, opposes Uranus, and squares Saturn (forming a tense t-square).
• Uranus retrograde squares Saturn retrograde (Sep-Nov; peaks around Oct 11) — Global geopolitical tensions, bad for old persons in power, sudden upsets for governmental leaders or leaders of large corporations; increased chance of large quakes, plane crashes and other disasters. Typical disasters under Saturn/Uranus tense aspects manifest as heavy object(s) made of rock/metal/ice/mud falling from a great hight; situations may cause significant damage to structures. Unfavorable for industries involving IT, aerospace, telecoms, power/electric grids, and cryptocurrencies (e.g., reduced value, diminished funding, slow progress, breakdowns, delays, etc.). Charts of Turkey and China/Taiwan receive difficult aspects at this time and may be at higher risk of some disaster (e.g., a significant quake).

WEEK OF SEP 26

Market direction prediction (DJIA and NASDAQ):

• Mon 9/26 — Up
• Tue 9/27 — Up
• Wed 9/28 — Down
• Th 9/29 — Down
• Fr 9/30 — Down

Key dates:

• Mon-Tue, Sep 26-27 — Increased news about international relations and commercial deals with emphasis on rates, loans, debt, mortgages, taxes, tariffs as well as mining, recycling, and nuclear power. We may hear about increased rates, higher prices on related commodities, increased earnings by lending institutions, increased taxes or tariffs, etc. For the U.S., expect increased (and likely positive) news about the country’s leaders and status on the world arena — the announcement may be related to commercial activity, currency, and/or finance (e.g., some beneficial trade deal is reached, value of the USD goes up, a new initiative helps financial institutions secure more funding/increase profits, leaders make an announcement that is received positively by the masses, etc.).
• Wed-Thur, Sep 28-29 — Increased news about long-term projects involving military, sports, and industrial-scale manufacturing (esp. related to aerospace, telecoms, and power generation [esp. from wind]). Also, increased risk of major earthquakes and storms with strong winds.
• Sat-Sun, Oct 1-2 — Busy weekend with news about important ongoing negotiations continuing from Th-Fr. Negotiations may become more urgent on Sat with renewed hopes; by Sun, a deal may be reached or some issue the was previously stuck may finally move forward. Alternatively, parties may disagree on the price/value and the deal that was stuck in negotiations or a delivery that was stuck/missing may be permanently cancelled.

Noteworthy transits:

• Mars trines Saturn retrograde (Sep 25-30; peaks 28-29) —
  • (1) Positive for beginning new long-term projects involving military, sports, industrial-scale manufacturing, ambitious/adventurous projects that require careful planning and discipline — with both Mars and Saturn in air signs, we may hear about new multi-year engineering/construction projects that involve building airports, airplane manufacturing contracts, weapons deals (with focus on things that fly, like drones or rockets), building plants to manufacture cars or some high tech or electronic devices, etc. Saturn represents government and large corporations, so any such projects will likely be funded/initiated/implemented by a large established entity.

Given that Saturn is in ongoing square to Uranus at this time, Mars energy flowing uninterrupted (trine) to Saturn increased a chance of strong earthquakes (Mars power easily flows to Saturn; Uranus square indicates abrupt onset). The disruptive manifestation is the most likely on the afternoon of Sep 28 to morning of Sep 29 ET when Moon conjuncts South Node, opposes Uranus, and squares Saturn (forming a tense t-square).
• Sun opposes Jupiter retrograde, Mercury retrograde conjuncts Venus and both trine Pluto retrograde (Sep 26-27) — Increased focus on international relations, immigration, and long distance travel/transportation. Also, focus on rates, loans, debt, mortgages, taxes, tariffs as well as mining, recycling, and nuclear power. The costs of running associated businesses, profits from or investments into such businesses, taxes, or lending rates may go up (e.g., banks raise rates or introduce new fees and make more money, mining companies’ earnings go up, nuclear power plants receive additional funding, etc.). Mercury retrograde and Venus will also conjunct U.S. Midheaven that day — Beneficial time for the country’s leaders, entering into profitable deals, achieving good results in negotiations, making favorable impression in social media, etc. With the U.S. Pluto in the 2nd house of finance, initiatives or deals announced today may be aimed at increasing earnings in general and may benefit financial institutions in particular. 
• Mercury (retrograde and direct) opposes Neptune (Sep 29 – Oct 04); Mercury turns direct on Oct 2 (ET) — Increased focus on commercial activity and transportation of oil, gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.  as well as maritime transportation in general. Opposition indicates problems, accidents, spills, delays, miscommunication, disagreements, and confusing situations (e.g., due to rainy or foggy weather, unclear contract terms, details missing or being intentionally obscured, etc.). If negotiations take place at this time, their direction may reverse when Mercury goes direct on Oct 2 (e.g., if an agreement was stuck, it may finally move forward or be permanently scrapped on Oct 1-2). Similarly, if a ship or some vehicle is stuck at this time, the transit may resume when Mercury turns direct. 
• Uranus retrograde squares Saturn retrograde (Sep-Nov; peaks around Oct 11) — global geopolitical tensions, bad for old persons in power, sudden upsets for governmental leaders or leaders of large corporations; increased chance of large quakes, plane crashes and other disasters. Typical disasters under Saturn/Uranus tense aspects manifest as heavy object(s) made of rock/metal/ice/mud falling from a great hight; situations may cause significant damage to structures. Unfavorable for industries involving IT, aerospace, telecoms, power/electric grids, and cryptocurrencies (e.g., reduced value, diminished funding, slow progress, breakdowns, delays, etc.). Charts of Turkey and China/Taiwan receive difficult aspects at this time and may be at higher risk of some disaster (e.g., a significant quake).

PREVIEW of the tense period of October 3-17, 2022:

⚡️ Increased news about disruptions involving oil, gas, navy, pharmaceuticals, and transportation by sea. Increased likelihood of accidents and disasters (quakes, storms, plane crashes), esp. on Oct 8-11. Oct 7-12 may see a large market drop.

Global/OIL: October 3-17 is one of the more tense periods in 2022. There are several tense transits, which typically coincide with major market drops, disasters, technology breakdowns, stressful corporate announcements (e.g., about restructuring or sudden leadership change), troubles for established leaders/officials ( esp. from government or large corporations), increased geopolitical tensions, economic problems, and accidents. In particular, we may hear about major earthquakes, storms, attacks, fighting, fires, or accidents involving oil, gas, chemicals, pollution, navy, drugs, mental imbalances, delusions, poisons, seafood, marine life, seaside location, etc. Possible manifestations include a major quake involving a location that is near a body of water or under water (e.g., an island or an underwater volcano), oil spills, gas leaks, accidents involving boiling water, maritime accidents, attacks by individuals who are mentally unstable/under influence of some substance, water pollution, chemical spills, and fires/dangerous events at Neptunian locations (e.g., marina, port, ship, submarine, underwater tunnel, underwater volcano, hospital, movie theater, concert hall, prison, biomedical lab, pharmacy, chemical plant, seaside location, island, etc.). We may hear about major disputes and even fighting over oil and gas prices, which may go down on Oct 7-10 and reverse to up on Oct 11 when some relevant deal is reached or a law is passed. 

China: October 9 is Full Moon (Sun/Moon opposition), which will fall exactly on the Nodal axis in the chart of China (activating 2nd and 8th houses of finance, loans, currency, debt, etc.). With transiting Sun and Venus also triggering China’s Mercury and Neptune (commercial activity, communication, transportation, oil, gas, chemicals, pharma, navy, etc.), we may expect that the events or agreements that take place at that time may involve China in some way, possibly through some financial policy announcements or increased commercial activity. Moreover, Saturn and Uranus will form a fairly tight grand square with China’s Pluto in the 7th house of partners (ruler of the 10th house of leadership, status in the world) and China’s Venus in the 10th house (ruler of the 4th house of motherland, banks, real estate). These transits are indicative of tensions in international relations, changes in partnership agreements, changes in power structures, financial losses, financial policy changes, difficult situations involving banks/real estate, etc.
